5.0 out of 5 stars Andrew Lloyed Webbers best musical ever!, 14 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Actually I was very tired of Andrew Lloyed Webber Musicals. But when I went to see Patti LuPone and Kevin Anderson in Sunset Blvd. I changed my mind. This is the best musical I have ever seen. I love the music, the score, the songs and I especially enjoyed Patti LuPone as Norma Desmond with equally good Kevin Anderson as her Joe Gillis. Sadly both of them have go on to other successes, leaving us behind with the only next best thing to a live performance. This World Premiere Recording captures the essence of the Show and believe me when I say, it presents this musical on the highest level. No other artists after Patti LuPone and Kevin Anderson have achieved such a great chemistry. So buy it, today. Its worth it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Sunset Recording, 22 Jun 2005
By W. Neale "william8386" (Longton, Stoke) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To start with, this release is only an excerpt album, with a significant amount of the musical score excised. Secondly, Patti LuPone may be a singer, but compared to Glenn Close on the American recording, she lacks the emotion needed for the role. The other leads are not a patch on the US cast, especially the dire Kevin Anderson, who cannot act in the slightest, and the girlish Meredith Braun. The original London score was subsequently tweaked and reorchestrated after the poor inital reviews, so this recording is missing some of the best sections of the US recording, especially the longer 'Worth a Little Suffering', along with other additional lines. If you really like LuPone, then I'm not going to be able to change your minds, but if you are looking to hear Sunset Boulevard for the first time, get the American Premiere Recording, with the incomparable Glenn Close.

2.0 out of 5 stars Get The American Premiere Version Instead!!!!!!, 14 Jun 2005
Having followed this wonderful show around the world, I thought I would never say that a U.S recording would ever be better than a London cast version. However if you are a mad fan of Sunset like me, then it's my duty to tell you that the version recorded by Glenn Close in Los Angeles is without a doubt the finest you will ever hear!!! From the moment it begins, right up to the dramatic tearful ending Ms Close and her cast bring this masterpiece to life, in a magical way.

Much re-working was done in Hollywood with the help of Billy Wilder, so when U.S audiences were finally drawn to the Broadway premiere, they were given a completely riveting, breathtaking time. You have to buy the American Premiere version which is a greyish colour cover, with Glenn Close on the front, it will blow you away. If you have heard the UK world premiere version and noticed the awful continuity and lack lustre music, then you will be in for a treat when you finally hear Ms Close and her cast really bring it to life....how it should be. I guess the UK version has it's merits, but it lacks the sparkle of the U.S. version and should perhaps be put to bed.

But I absolutely adore the show, have seen it all over the world, and just hope Mr Lloyd Webber ensures Ms Close is in the movie version of Sunset whenever it is made.
